The Marlins played the match without two of their top three players. Results of an MRI revealed that No. 3 player Jamie Griffin (Fairfax, Va./W.T. Woodson) has been playing with a broken foot. Griffin will sit out the rest of the season. Also, No. 2 player Steven Bond (Petersburg, Va./Matoaca) did not make the trip.

Luke scored a 6-1, 6-2 decision over Piedmont's Moses Das at No. 1 for his fourth straight singles victory. He later teamed with Ryan Sadinski (Chesapeake, Va./Great Bridge) and dropped a narrow 8-6 decision to Das and Patrick Steck at No. 1 doubles.

Sadinski, who previously played No. 4, was competitive playing two spots higher in the lineup against Piedmont in a 6-3, 6-4 loss. Griffin Graves (Middleburg, Va./Middleburg Academy)split sets with Piedmont's Christopher Davidson before dropping the third-set tiebreak. And Graves and Donnie Greathouse (Yorktown, Va./Grafton)came up just short in a 9-8 setback at No. 2 doubles.

"It's tough not having all the guys, but this is a good chance to develop some of the other guys in the lineup," Marlins coach Tom Drabczyk said.
